Last night

I played The Mookie on Fulltilt last night and I started off great. A few hands in I was dealt A 7s one off the button. Blinds 15/30. Yea I know Ace Rag. I had only played one hand in so far and won and was feeling adventurous. I raised to 105. Donkeypuncher on the button calls and the blinds fold . Flop comes Js 3s 2s. Yep I flopped the nuts. I check as does the donkey. Damn. Turn 5h. I check again. Donkeypuncher bets 175. I call. Turn is a Qd. I ponder and decide to check hoping he bets. Nope he checks and I win a pot of 605.

A couple hands later and second to act I get AJ. I raise to 90. Astin raises me to 180. I call. Everybody else folds. Flop comes J 10 10. I check and Astin bets 290. I call. Turn is a 7. I check and surprisingly Astin checks behind. River brings another J giving me the boat. Now I know I should have bet here but I checked and so did Astin. When he showed he had 88 so I don't think he would have called anything anyways.

Then I got moved to Josie's table. Of course others might think otherwise but she is certainly the most chatty at that table. I slowly built up my stack to just over 6500.Then I got dealt 2 7 one off the button. Everybody folds to me. I raise as Josie is the BB. I know just to bug her. They all fold and I flash Josie my 2,7. She flashes me a finger or something I am sure. Good thing Boston is a long ways from me.

Later on I get dealt AA. Yes my nemesis. Keepflopping who is second to act pushes all in for around 1300 chips. I reraise and everybody else folds. Flopping has 33 and amazingly doesn't spike a 3 and my Aces hold up. I know standing ovation please.

I also have Aces later UTG and with a raise everybody folded. Geez 2/2. Gotta like it. I lost a lot of chips when two hands in a row with AK I got reraised huge and both times I mucked and was told that I was up against AA once and KK another. That's if you can believe poker players but whatever.

The hand that ended my night I was dealt J 10 in the SB. Everybody folded to me. I was going to raise but Mrs Scary in the BB had a huge stack and I am not talking about her boobs. I just called. Flop comes J 6 6. Now for some reason that I am still pissed about I decide to jam all in. I don't know if I was worried about her chips but definitely I should have just made a pot sized bet. She snap called me. She had Q 6. Yep she had trips. So I am looking for a Jack on the turn or river but it was not to be. I am out in 28th out of 93. Congrats to Tripjax who won and as usual it was fun playing. Sure beats playing tournaments where you don't know anybody. LuckiDuck even stopped by to wish us well. Thanks for that. He did get to witness my Aces holding up.
